What is it about putting on the Cardinal uniform that turns mediocre players into monsters?
He needs to buy a couple vowels.Comment -
I just hate LaRussa. Have never liked him.Originally posted by BigDanNC do yourself a favor bro and stop betting against and hating on the Cards..
Duncan is a genius. LaRussa isn't. He was lauded for lifting Carp and pinch-hitting Craig last night -- I would hope every manager in baseball would've done the same thing. That wasn't a groundbreaking move.Comment -

id be lying if i didnt say he seriously gets on my nerves more times than not (you already know this). that said he has done a great job in the playoffs and managerial edge is hugely in favor of stl in this series.
yes i would think between the fact Carp didnt exactly have his best stuff, we needed a run, and our pen is fantastic, there wasnt much reason not to have Craig batting in that spot...think the coke heads bad moves will make tony look all the more genius this series..Tex gonna have their hands full at home starting lefties when Craig gets to be in the lineup....

What do you think about tonight?

I could've shot Washington for pinch hitting those two losers with two on and one out. Only in baseball could other managers make LaRussa look like the best -- some of the moves made in this sport are utterly baffling. I have to think a football or basketball head coach has to be sitting at home watching MLB games and thinking, "man, these guys are a bunch of **** ups."Comment -

Terrible managing by washington
Good news is he can't screw up the bullpen because it is too goodComment -

How do the Ranger bats fare vs. lefties?Comment -
Rangers hitters love seeing lefties on the hump.
On the season, Kinsler/Andrus/Cruz/Beltre all hit for better average and power against lefties. Napoli was virtually the same average and power. Hamilton hit for a lower average, but much more power (10 HR's in 146 AB's). Young hit .361 vs Lefties, but had less power.Comment -

Garcia pitches well to righties though. I would pretty much take Hamiltons power numbers and throw them in the trash because he is obviously in some pain and from what i saw unable to turn on anything inside, doubt im the only one who noticed as he got quite a bit of inside pitching last night..Comment -
Alot of people hating on Hamilton....but I do remember that massive hit in Game 5 off Valverde where he turned on a + inside fastball and shot into the corner for a leadoff 9th inning double, that sparked a Texas win.
Bottom line, Josh will be fine!Comment -

im not hating on the guy. all i am saying is what i saw last night and he looked to be in pain when he swung...even if it nothing more than a tight groin that isnt gonna feel any better tonight in another cold gm.Comment -
True Enough Dan. He's a professional, hard nosed kid and will figure it out. He's the type of guy that would tell Wash if he felt he was hurting the team being in the game.
Goodluck to all tonight.Comment -
Dave Duncan is the answer to the original question.Comment -
